One of the most beautiful and terrifying things in our universe is love. Almost all of us long for a deep connection with another person to spend our entire lives with. There is something deeply comforting in knowing that there is someone out there for all of us, if only we are patient enough to wait for them. But how do you know they are the one once you meet them? Here are ten ways to know they are the one for you.
1. They are your best friend.
You have a ton of friends that you care about, but they are the one person that truly understands you. You click with them in a way you never did with anyone else. They are your partner in crime, always by your side through thick and thin.
2. They accept you just the way you are.
You never feel like you have to hide who you are around them. You aren't afraid of holding back comments or your little quirks, because you know they won't judge you for anything you do. They love you for everything you are and don't care about your mistakes.
3. You trust them and they trust you completely.
They are the one if you feel safe enough with them to confess your deepest and darkest secrets. You aren't scared to tell them anything and everything, because you know they won't betray you. Not only that, but they trust you too, because the two of you are a team against the world. When two people have that deep trust and loyalty for each other, the relationship will last forever.
4. You feel like you're a better person with them.
When they are with you, you feel like you are a better version of yourself than normal. You feel as if you are on top of the world and that you can do anything you set your mind to. No matter what troubles come your way, you know you can deal with it with them by your side.
5. They support and respect you.
The one will always treat you with the deepest respect, no matter the circumstances. They will always want to support you in your endeavors and make you feel empowered. They will never belittle you or make you feel insecure on purpose. In return, you respect them as well. You admire everything they stand for and how they view the world. The two of you work together to succeed as a team.
6. He isn't afraid of showing affection and commitment.
They are not the one if they want to hide the fact that they are with you. The one will not be afraid to show the world that they are with you. In fact, they probably are giddy to tell anyone and everyone that listens that you are theirs! They will want you to meet their friends and family and will make an effort to be involved in your life.
7. Your family likes them.
If you are like me then family is incredibly important to you and you will want your significant other to get along with them. When they are the one, they blend seamlessly into your family as if they were always there to begin with. Your family will adore them and support your decision to be with them. Likewise, you will get along with their family and feel comfortable spending time with them. While your families may not agree on everything, they still manage to merge into something new and beautiful.
8. You share the same values.
While you do not need to see eye to eye on everything, it is important that you agree on major ideas or values. If the two of you can't find ways to compromise, then things simply won't work out in the long run.
9. You have a healthy and comfortable balance of time with them and apart from them.
While you may want to spend all your time with them, it is important that you have your own independent identity in your relationship. The both of you should have your own separate interests or hobbies that you can indulge in from time to time. You should also feel secure spending time away from them and trusting of the decisions they may make.
10. You can't imagine a future without them in it.
When they are the one, you will want them in your life. The two of you will discuss future plans with each other in it, because a life without them seems dull and meaningless. You can happily imagine spending your entire life with them and you can't wait to see what is in store for the two of you.
